Nurses came and talked to them, updating them on the Pidove's condition. Though Asa had long learned not to get attached to patients and subjects. Of course he hoped the pokemon would be okay but in his heart, he had already accepted the worst possible outcome. To be a medical professional you had to prepare for the worst case scenario, after all. 

In other words, the Pidove's fate is out of their hands and there's no point in worrying. Seeing the set up of the hospital and what he can glean for his future studies sounds interesting and productive, so he agrees to go with the Nurse. Their first stop is seeing the Pidove as some pokemon doctors are setting the wing. He tries to pay as much attention as possible. If he can glean something... maybe the next hurt pokemon he sees, perhaps he can set their broken bone. Although it's definitely a stretch and he knows it, that doesn't stop him from trying. The Pidove still looks fragile but the doctor's look capable and Asa is left feeling a little more assured.

They move on to another operating room where the nurse explains that the pokemon in question is getting an open heart surgery. 

[color=lightpink][i]Amazing... TV isn't the same as seeing it in real life.[/i][/color] He feels his hands shake just some. His precision in a lab is pretty good, but beakers and chemicals are not living things. And at least you can repeat experiment steps even if you have to start all over. The dexterity needed to do actual surgery is an entirely different matter. There is no starting over if you make a mistake... [color=lightpink][i]I'll need to see about an internship with the Doctor. Or one of the medical professionals here. I know I can study, I know I can learn. But I'll need a good mentor.[/i][/color] 

His thoughts are interrupted by a question. [color=lightgray]"What kind of medical specialty do you want to go into, Asa?"[/color]

There are so many different medical specialties that his mind drew a blank when she asked the question. He knew that he wanted to specialize, narrow his niche instead of being a broad generalist. [color=lightpink]"Well you see... I like pharmaceuticals and developing medicine for pokemon,"[/color] Asa said, mask still over his mouth. [color=lightpink]"There are so many illnesses that don't have cures. I'd like to be the one to find those answers. I know I want to do research and have my own lab, but as for other my actual medical practice, I'm not sure."[/color] He shook his head. [color=lightpink]"I'm still figuring that out. Do I need to know before I meet with Dr. Graham?" [i]If so, then I'll figure it out beforehand.[/i][/color]
